Mrs Reed was not oaly devoted wife and

eyemplifed the highest traits Of womanly
character. For fifty-eight years she had
been an active and consistent member OF the
United Presbyterian Church at Butler, and

constant aim to fulfil all the duties and dis
charge all the obligations which go to round
ont the true Christian life. 1t was in the
church and in the home that she found her
lifework. and no Christian wife and mother
worked more necessarily or more earnestly
and conscientiously to make her influence
felt ia these spheres OF activity. To those
who knew her most intimately did her
graces and virtues shine most brightly, and
her memory will ever remain with her chill
dren as a precious legacy. Her solicitude
for their spiritual and temporal welfare was
unbounded and she was to them an exem-
plar aud pattern of correct living and Chris
tian fidelity. She bore her personal suffer
ings and bercavements with that patience
and regign4tion which are the fruits OF an
abiding faith in the precious promises OF the
Gospel of Christ, aud when the end came
she was ready for the summons, haylng
trustfullv and hopefully awaited her ap-
pointed time. While she remained, her
presence, her counsel and her example were
a constant benediciion, and now, that she
has gone to her reward, the recoiiections OF
her kindly acts. her wi fely aud motherly de-
votion aad her precious love will InSer to
cheer husband aud children and friends, and
beckon them one and all to the better lard.
